The Boise State men’s basketball team will open Pac-12 play with four intriguing matchups. 

The Broncos inaugural Pac-12 game will be a road showdown with Utah State on Jan. 6. The Aggies captured last year’s Mountain West regular-season and tournament titles and reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament. 

Boise State will then have back-to-back home games against Oregon State (Jan. 9) and Washington State (Jan. 13) before traveling to Gonzaga on Jan. 13. 

The Broncos will host San Diego State on Jan. 23 and Gonzaga on Feb. 10. 

The Pac-12 released its full men’s basketball conference schedule on Wednesday. 

Boise State lost all five starters from last year’s team that finished 20-12 overall and missed the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive season. The Broncos’ transfer portal haul ranked No. 92 nationally and third in the new Pac-12 by 247Sports, coming in behind Gonzaga (No. 6 overall) and Oregon State (No. 57).
